@wesstreeting @Councillorsuzie Surely you’ll be mitigating costs to the public purse by ensuring that insurers will be paying according to policies held and HMG covering excesses & incidentals?

@Councillorsuzie Yep - four ambulances with them now are on loan. We’re funding permanent replacements, too. That means that the money being donated will deliver over and above what they had before the attack: stronger, not weaker. Hate can’t win.

Wes Streeting has just said that the Ambulances given to the Jewish community are ‘on loan’ - I thought the government had literally given them to the community! - does anyone know the facts here?

@SuellaBraverman Of course you wouldn’t mind more global-warming to support your ‘drill baby drill’ fossil-fuel donors!!

Global warming?!? Just over a week to go until Easter and we need to get our big coats back out! I wouldn’t mind a bit more global warming to be honest, right now.

It’s not rotting, it has been privatised.

@LizWebsterSBF Peter Kyle has spoken quite rationally about Brexit in the past, it’s almost like he has defected to the Tory Party with such fairytale talk of incredible opportunities around the world. Frustrating.

Peter Kyle told LBC Labour would not move to rejoin Eu. “Rather than plunging ourselves into a very long, protracted debate about rejoining we need to be looking at all of the incredible 🤡 opportunities there are out there for partnerships around the world, both multilaterally and bilaterally, country-to-country.” Kyle said he wanted to “focus on those deals that will deliver short-term, immediate growth into our economy”, like the US tech deal, which he said unlocked 300 billion US dollars worth of trade.

5 things Thames Water's creditors don't want YOU to understand about their latest proposal The government must say NO - take back Thames Water now

Corporate Welfare. UK's privatised steel industry received £500m subsidy, another £2.5bn+ promised. Electricity costs to be cut from £168 per MWh to £86 from public purse. Profits will go to shareholders. No equity stake for govt. Nothing repayable. gov.uk/government/pub…

@SamCoatesSky You guys love to talk about Reform and the key take from this poll is their continued polling fall. When Reform is swallowed up by the pack in the opinion polls, how are you going to continue to justify your platforming them??

YouGov / Sky / Times voting intention RefUK 23%(-2) LAB 19%(+2) CON 17%(nc), GRN 18%(-1) LDEM 13%(-1) Pollster note: While changes are all within the margin of error, this does put the Greens back into third place (presumably as the publicity impact of Denton & Gorton gradually recedes).

Seemed an obvious win for the Labour government nearly 2 years ago. The big question is why have they not sorted the mechanism rather than look at windfall taxes?

@normanelliottuk @SamCoatesSky More curious being the fact that the Tories can still muster 17% after their pernicious 14 years in power!

@SamCoatesSky This is nonsense. Reform and the Greens are clearly prominent in sections of the middle class who respond to pollsters, but the idea they have a combined 41% of the electorate is fantasy.

BREAKING: Election expert thinks Harris was the Real winner of the 2024 Election and Trump won due to massive fraud

@Persianserene1 Far from crazy. The markets are reacting to his words rather than his deeds so why wouldn’t a fraudster like him take advantage?

Trump said we don’t even know who’s in charge in Iran or who to talk to! And now he says we’re having “very good conversations” with them Is he a bad liar or just stupid?

@JakeSherman What is the current status of such talks? Where are the receipts? What do the Gulf states know about these talks (as I’m guessing they’re involved)? If it feels like & looks like market manipulation to make Trump, his family and friends some fast bucks then the markets are crazy!

Trump says he has instructed DOD to postpone strikes on power and energy plants for 5 days due to talks with Iran.

@Amockx2022 Looks like Boris Johnson after a night on the tiles in Italy!

Look at Trump's face and body language, he is mentally finished by 🇮🇷 Iran Arrogance is destroyed and pride is dismantled by Iranians. He thought he would defeat Iran in just 2-3 days and war would get over on his terms He didn't see Iran putting up such fight even in his nightmares, Trump must be scratching his head in regret Lesson : Never underestimate your enemy

@roberthenryjohn Throw everything into the pot and let unearned income be taxed at the highest marginal rate. A substantial increase in PA would facilitate such a bold move!

Why are pensioners who receive less than the minimum wage, having to pay income tax ? Isn't it time to unfreeze the tax free allowance and set it to at least £20k. . .?

Just Vote Green!

North Sea Oil was sold off by the Tories and is sold on the open global oil market so it would NOT be cheaper. Helen Whately calls it “our own gas” no it isn’t Helen .. your party sold it off for a fraction of its worth. Stop misleading the public @BBCNews

We need a fundamental energy pricing mechanism change where we are charged the average price of energy rather than the maximum. Ignore those that deflect by blaming our over-sized electricity bills on Net Zero!

The war we are facing in the Middle East is illegal and unnecessary and is being pursued by people guilty of war crimes, and maybe other crimes as well. That, though does not mean there are no consequences. There are, and none of them are good news. A thread…….

From Reform UK yesterday alone: Sarah Pochin wanted to wear a tartan burqa. Nigel Farage called Welsh people 'foreign speakers'. He also called for every religious celebration to be banned in the UK. Lied about Ed Miliband. Claimed that Britain was built on Judeo-Christianity. Lost control of Kent County Council. Banned media from another council — Nottinghamshire. Put a man who believes that abortion should be illegal, even in cases of rape and incest, on BBC Question Time. In one day. Have they been called out by anyone in the broadcast media? No. Will they be? Also, no.

@covie_93 Hegseth says “It takes money to kill bad guys”. Isn’t impeachment easier (& cheaper)??

If hegseth didn't seek congressional approval to go to war he shouldn't be asking Congress for money to fund the war.
